MSD - Ashwin almost make a record-breaking partnership
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Ravichandran Ashwin batted sensibly to take the team out of trouble against Pakistan, as they helped the team recover from 102/6 to post a respectable 227/6 at the end of 50 overs.
Their 125-run stand is the third highest partnership for the seventh wicket in ODIs.
